We asked God to help us show them the same tolerance, pity,
and patience that we would cheerfully grant a sick friend. When a person
offended we said to ourselves, 'This is a sick man. How can I be helpful to
him? God save me from being angry. Thy will be done.’’ We avoid retaliation or
argument. We wouldn’t treat sick people that way. If we do, we destroy our chance
of being helpful. We cannot be helpful to all people, but at least God will
show us how to take a kindly and tolerant view of each and every one. Referring
to our list again.
